This program requires less than 1 MB of video RAM.

The commands which this game recognizes are listed on the opening screen. These commands include the following:

Also see the Dplaunch example.

To play multiplayer, one machine hosts a game, then others join.

To play using TCP/IP over the Internet, the people who are joining the game must enter the IP address of the machine that hosted the game. You can find out the IP address of your machine by running "winipcfg". If you have a net card and a modem installed, you will need to make sure you read the IP address of the modem connection to the Internet. The modem will show up as a "PPP Adapter".  DirectPlay will not work through proxies or firewalls.
